Resumen

VARGAS-URSUA, F; RAMOS-HERNANDEZ, C  y  FERNANDEZ-VILLAR, A. Persistent hiccups after epidural injection of betamethasone: a case report. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2021, vol.28, n.3, pp.169-171.  Epub 27-Sep-2021. ISSN 1134-8046.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2021.3914/2021.

Epidural analgesia by corticosteroid injection is a common procedure in pain units. Despite being a technique with a low rate of complications, the appearance of persistent hiccups after the intervention has been described. We present as a clinical case the first episode published in Spain and the sixth in the world of persistent hiccups due to betamethasone administered by epidural injection, accompanied by a summary of the definition of this entity and its aetiology, pathophysiology, management and incidence in patients treated with oral and epidural corticosteroids. Due to its duration, impact on quality of life and need for symptomatic treatment, it is considered the most severe case published to date.

Palabras clave : Hiccups; epidural; persistent; betamethasone; steroid; inyection.
